New Fabric

Happy Tuesday, I hope you had a great long weekend, our family spent a lot of time at the lake which was wonderful. It has been awhile since I have posted new fabric on here, but I have lots to share tonight.

From Art Gallery we have Mr Domestic's new collection, Catch and Release, lots of fun prints and blues and whites in this line. 

From Sweet Bee Designs we have Thrive, a soft color palette with pretty succulents and florals, and a shot of pink. Carrie redid her bathroom with this collection, making a new window valence, shower curtain and bath mat.  

We have a new Glamping collection by Anne Rowan for Camelot. I have a quilt all cut out and ready to sew for this group. The only thing stopping me from sewing it up is that a bolt of Toronto Raptors fabric came in as well, and I showed it to my boys and now they have some big wish lists. 

So from the Raptors fabric I am sewing up some mesh bags, towels to match, pencil cases for school and lanyards. There is a little bit of fabric left on the bolt if you want to get some, but you better hurry before my boys come with more ideas they could use it for. 

There is also two new collections from Stof, one is called Wolly Bear and the other is Rocky Raccoon. I love the colors in both of these lines and the prints are pretty great too. 

Also on the more juvenile side is Teddy's Great Adventure. Esther made up a tumbler quilt with this and included the border panel as an additional row in the quilt. With the bright colors and the fun cars, planes, palm trees and spaceships this line is so fun!

Another Christmas line came in, this one is Aurora by Kate Spain for Moda. Esther is planning on making a house quilt with this one and I think it is going to turn out looking amazing. 

We got some new ombre and ombre metallics instore a little while back but I don't think I shared them here yet. The color is light in the middle and runs darker out to each selvage so you get the full color range with a fat quarter, but we did also make 10" rollups of these, so you get a 10" width of fabric cut, same yardage as a fat quarter just cut differently. There are a lot of fun patterns being released for these ombres. 

And still in the plastic is Blooming Beauty from Kanvas. I love the purples and pinks in this grouping and can't wait to see it all laid out. 

New from Accuquilt are 4 dies all of which would make some really cool quilts!
There is lots more new collections in store so make sure you come check us out.

As a reminder we have our Fall Class Reveal happening next week Wednesday evening (August 14). It is an open house event which runs from 7pm - 9pm. The samples for almost all of the classes and clubs will be on display an you can come ask us questions and sign up for any that interest you.
Have a great week,
Kayla

Christmas Fabric 2018

It’s only the first weekend in August and yet we have Christmas fabric in the store already. 

We have several new lines from various companies this year to suit your style. 

If you like the metallics there is 2 neutral lines, a red and black collection, and a blue and purple set that could be used together or on their own.

White Christmas is by Zen Chic, we have a couple kits in store for this and Esther is working on another one. 

Amazing stars and Starlight are both from Stof.

Winters Grandeur is by Robert Kaufman. Winters Grandeur has a gorgeous Tree Panel that would make a quick and easy yet beautiful wall hanging, I'm sure we will have one made up like this and hanging in the store in the next few months.

For the rest it seams that the traditional colors of Green , Red, Black and Cream are again taking center stage. 

From Riley Blake we have a collection called Christmas Delivery, I love the little trucks and may have to make a sample out of this one, maybe something with trees, I will have to do some pattern searching at the store when I am working next. 

We also have a great collection from Makower, Silent Night. This line comes with an Advent Calendar as well as a free pattern for a runner and some place mats, perfect to adorn your table this Christmas Holiday Season. We will be making up some kits for this in the coming weeks.

Also in the store we have Basic Greys new Christmas line called Winter Village and Tim Holtz new Christmas line as well. 

I encourage you to come check these collections out in person as it seems that pictures never do them justice, especially the metallics. Also in order to get all this Christmas Fabric out on display, Carrie and Taylor had to do a lot of rearranging, so the store has several new displays to check out as well.

What kind of sewing do you like to do with winter and Christmas fabrics, do you do quilts, wall hangings, stockings or maybe just some runners for the tables in your home, and do you start early to get it done, or leave it until there is snow on the ground and sew like mad?

I made a queen size Christmas quilt last year for our bed, but our Christmas tree is still without a tree skirt, so I will be focusing on that this year and maybe a lap quilt for the couch to match, I will probably end up waiting until some cold weather is upon us for my own projects, but I will need to make up the store samples soon to inspire all of you.

Back to August now :) we will be open on Saturday from 10am-4pm and Closed on Monday, August 6. Our family will be celebrating the 5th birthday of one of my boys that day and he is super excited that it falls on the holiday and no one has to work on his birthday!

Have a safe and pleasant long weekend,

Kayla
